The letter referred to by the Deputy in relation to a particular adoption case was received by me at the Department of Health and Children.

The Attorney General has been engaged in correspondence with the legal representative of this child's adoptive parents in seeking to find a solution to this case.

High Court proceedings have been issued by the Attorney General in his role as protector of the unprotected against the adoptive parents of this child. As the matter is before the court, it is not appropriate to comment further on this matter.
